oh, then i am very sorri. i as genuinely not aware and assumed that it was an old-timey word. i apologize.

Even if it were an old timey word what's the issue?

It implies a sex change op which is quite invasive of people's privacy. It's also inaccurate for a lot of trans folks who may only change their gender expression and avoid the operation altogether, hence the adoption of transgender that has the right emphasis.

Not what I asked, but understood

It seems quite literally what you asked? If not then you should rephrase.

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

What's the issue?
It has the wrong implications.

Sorry, I wasn't clear!
